Lola's Legion des Refuses

I purchased Chris Gregg's latest hussarette Lola. After her triumphant appearance at AMG XVII, she will arrive in the Reich Duchy of Beerstein. Reich Duke Wilhelm has authorized her to establish her Legion des Refuses. Attached are several units she will lead, Gentlemen in Exile Grenadiers, Lola's Flying Battery, Exsulem Nobilis, and Lady Lola's Hussars.

 

 

Gentlemen in Exile

For all those gentlemen who have been exiled from AMG you are welcome to join the Society of Gentlemen in exile. The banner Gentlemen in Exile is attached. For the more erudite a Latin version is also attached. Enjoy...
